Setting up SCSI scanner [FC3+]

Tested with FC3 and newer, here's a way to configure your SCSI scanner.

Login as root and probe for your scanner:
Code:
$ su - root
password:
# modprobe sg
This creates the scanner file /dev/sg0.
Set the permissions to 777 for everybody:
Code:
# chmod 777 /dev/sg0
Copy the file to the (new) udev location so it's available after the next reboot:
Code:
# cp -a /dev/sg0 /etc/udev/devices
Change ownership of the file to root:
Code:
# chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/sg0
Edit the appropriate Sane config file (filename depends on the brand scanner you're using):
Code:
# vi /etc/sane.d/hp.conf
Set the pointer to the sg0 file:
Code:
scsi HP
# The usual place for a SCSI-scanner on Linux
/etc/udev/devices/sg0
And your done
Happy scanning!
